I don&#39;t always add sesame seeds or coconut amnios- fish sauce or soy sauce (not for Whole30 though) can be substituted. Often times other than the garlic and chilies I don&#39;t add anything. It seems like it would be bland but the bok choy has great flavor and we like it. This can be served as a side dish.

This is a Whole30 compliant dish, it could be used as a side with fat built in from the coconut milk. If not on a Whole30 round I like to add medium firm tofu to this. I usually pan fry the tofu first to get it crispy, then make the curry and stir it in after. This is an easy dish to make. If you&#39;re going to be pressed for time you can even prepare all the vegetables the day before. This can be made Vegan if you use a vegan curry paste and leave out the fish sauce, subbing for salt.<br><div style="text-align: center;">I have two store bought red curry paste brands that I have used. Both are Whole30 compliant, only one is vegan. That brand is Thai Kitchen brand. The other brand of paste I use is Mae Ploy brand. Which is very yummy but it has shrimp in it. I like both brands, the Mae Ploy does have more umami flavor to it.<br></div></div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2018/01/vegetarian-red-curry.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

Once I started I couldn&#39;t put it down. This book is about Clara Kelley who is an Irish immigrant. She arrives in Pittsburgh to find work so she can send money back home to her family. Clara is mistaken for a girl who was experienced to come work as a lady&#39;s maid. Clara takes on the missing girls identity and takes on the job of lady&#39;s maid for Mrs. Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie&#39;s mother. </div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2017/12/peasread-carnegies-maid.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

I got a new phone. Not really by choice. My last one died. Blah. I don&#39;t like new things. I got into a pretty good habit of taking pictures on my phone and posting them on here from there. Problem is, I can&#39;t figure out how to do that on this new phone. So, I have been packing lunches and taking pictures, I just now have to transfer them onto my laptop (that is legit old) and post them from there. So here we are, behind but here. Some of these lunches I only got a picture of one while the others were thrown into lunch bags.

You can read the summary below. The book is not a good standalone book, even with having already read the first book this was confusing at times. Flashbacks/memories, moving through stories of different characters. The book didn&#39;t flow well. Sometimes memories were confusing because it wasn&#39;t easy to tell that it was a memory.<br></div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2017/09/peasread-unraveling.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

Of course it is. We walk with Him, talk with Him, tell Him about our day, cry out about injustices, and ask for healing, blessings, and His wisdom. We use prayer as a form of worship and as a step of faith, right? That&#39;s great I think. It&#39;s simple, but it also isn&#39;t. Praying For Girls by Teri Lynne Underwood helps us focus those prayers. </div><div style="text-align: center;">There is no formula that will make our prayers heard more over others, it&#39;s not about that at all. God hears us and sees our hearts. This book is about effective and fervent prayers though, well thought out prayers, and prayers that focus on the needs of our kids. The book focuses on five areas of every girl&#39;s life- her identity, her heart, mind, relationships, and purpose. Everyone needs prayer in these areas don&#39;t they? There are prayers that scripture based in this book. Normally I don&#39;t like reading a prayer, but I like these as prompts, and what else would line up with God&#39;s will more than praying His very words for our girls? These small prayers can be a start of a longer prayer that is specific to the needs and hearts of our girls.</div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2017/09/peasread-praying-for-girls.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

Okay, I&#39;ve liked most all of them, but some I liked a little less, and some a little more. Seer of Sevenwaters, I liked a little more. It is about another of Lord Sean and Lady Aisling&#39;s daughters, Sibeal. Sibeal is a young seer who has known her path since she was younger. She is called to join the Druids. Before she takes her final vow does she visits Clodagh and her other family on the Island of Inis Eala. This island is where Johnny trains his elite warriors. While Sibeal is on the island there is a shipwreck. Three mysterious survivors are found. Knut, a warrior who everyone on the island likes and makes friends with. His wife, Svala, who is strange in her behavior and she does not speak.</span><br></div></div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2017/08/peasread-seer-of-sevenwaters.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

Now There are three of us here who like it. My oldest, my middle, and myself. My youngest likes the veggies and will eat those very happily. I stocked up on Corned beef because it was a great price and I have never made one myself from just a beef brisket. I keep saying I&#39;m going to and I never get around to it. Maybe next year. The best part about a New England Boiled dinner is of course leftovers! It&#39;s delicious the night of, with tender veggies nom nom. But sandwiches the next day... or everything chopped up and heated in a skillet and topped with a fried egg. That is why I like to make extra, or have extra on hand!<br>I discovered that cooking this in and electric pressure cooker is the way to go. It&#39;s perfect because I can cook the beef from frozen or thawed in just a little over and hour. After that the vegetables take about 7-10 minutes depending on how big you cut them. I think that&#39;s my favorite part. I used to cook everything on the crock pot/ slow cooker. The problem with that is the whole house smells like corned beef. Great for the people who like it, not so much for the people who don&#39;t. Then you had to put the vegetables in and time it. There&#39;s no need to check the beef an hour out and add vegetables with the pressure cooker.<br></div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2017/07/new-england-boiled-dinner-corned-beef.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

These waffles are so good. I love Coconut Pandan Waffles anyway. I used to make batter and keep it in the fridge for snacks or a quick breakfast. While I don&#39;t have any gluten intolerance, or dairy intolerance I just finished a Whole30 and feel really good. I&#39;m less bloated, sleeping better. So I try not to goo crazy with the things that do make me a little bloated, like wheat. I am finding that I sleep better if I don&#39;t have it for dinner or later in the day. I&#39;m still narrowing it down and keeping mental notes, I should keep a food journal. But that is a whole other post. Back to these great waffles. I&#39;m literally not missing the wheat flour in my Coconut Pandan Waffles because of this recipe. I&#39;m not missing the butter either. I wasn&#39;t sure how to change this recipe, originally I thought I would just try half rice flour and half tapioca, I figured it would work. Then I walked in my pantry and thought I&#39;d try the oats because we do like oats in our pancakes and oats make cookies chewy. So I tried it, what could go wrong right? Nothing went wrong. It went right. The first time. So there was no need to try the just rice and tapioca flour.<br></div><a href="http://pleasegivepeasachance.blogspot.com/2017/07/gluten-freedairy-free-coconut-pandan.html#more">Read the rest of this post »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
